History

Historical Context

The March 27 1977 collision of KLM and Pan Am 747s at Los Rodeos Airport killed 583 people, prompting new international phraseology rules and the adoption of crew-resource-management training. Decades later, a Dassault Falcon 50 skidded off Runway 1L at Harry Reid International, triggering an FAA ground stop and underscoring the lasting impact of those reforms on today’s runway-safety protocols.
